Pacquiao vs. Bradley 3 Round by Round: How to Catch Live Updates Online

In what Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao has labeled the final fight of his Hall of Fame-worthy career, the Filipino superstar will take on Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley for the third time Saturday night in Las Vegas.

The series is split at 1-1, with Bradley controversially winning in 2012 and Pacquiao getting one back in 2014, but a decisive winner will likely be determined Saturday in a fight that figures to be remembered for many years to come.

There is a great deal of mystery surrounding Pacquiao's form after his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year, and Bradley has plenty to prove since most have discounted his 2012 victory.

With the storyline-laden fight very much on the horizon, here is everything you need to know about when and where to watch it, as well as how to follow along on Bleacher Report.

Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

When: Saturday (pay-per-view card starts at 9 p.m. ET)

Pacquiao's Keys to Victory

Pacquiao is known for his aggressiveness and punching power, although those qualities weren't necessarily on full display during his most recent tilt with Mayweather.

A shoulder injury may have had something to do with that, but trainer Freddie Roach believes his prized fighter is fully ready to go for Saturday's clash. Roach is pushing for a decisive win, according to Fight Hub TV (h/t Bad Left Hook):

"

His rehab he did on his own. He prayed to God and he went swimming in the ocean. I tell you what, he blasted me with the right hook. It worked. ... [His left and right] are about equal. [The hooks] are powerful. And no complaints, either. No pain. He looks pretty good. ... I'm urging Manny to win by knockout, because the better he looks in the fight, the more votes he gets as Senator. And that's the truth.

"

Of Pac-Man's 57 career wins, 38 have come by way of knockout. He hasn't scored one since 2009, however, which suggests that Roach's expectation may be somewhat unrealistic.

Bradley has also never been knocked out, and his defensive posture figures to make it difficult for Pac-Man to end his seven-year drought on that front.

Even so, the 37-year-old veteran must be the aggressor against Bradley due to fact that the judges have wronged him before against the same opponent.

Scoring a knockout is the only way to remove all doubt, but controlling the fight and clearly landing more impactful punches should influence the judges as well.

Pacquiao didn't come forward with as much speed and power against Mayweather as he usually does, and making that same mistake against Bradley won't do him any favors.

Even though a knockout may not be in the cards, Pac-Man should still seek one within reason, since the auxiliary impact of doing so will put him in great position to score a decision victory regardless.

Bradley's Keys to Victory

Bradley has beaten Pacquiao once before, but he is seemingly entering the fight with the attitude that he has never accomplished anything against Pac-Man.

Regardless of the validity of Bradley's 2012 win over Pacquiao, he was beaten thoroughly in 2014, and a different strategy is necessary in order to turn the tide in his favor this time around.

Trainer Teddy Atlas is well aware of that, and he admitted that he is attempting to take a page out of Juan Manuel Marquez's and Mayweather's books, as they each hold victories over Pacquiao since 2012.

According to Andrew L. John of the Desert Sun, Atlas has studied Pac-Man's recent losses and intends to incorporate some of the things that gave him issues in those fights:

"

Listen, Marquez is a great fighter, and I'm not afraid to learn things from everybody. There's two fighters that have beaten Manny, Marquez and Mayweather, recently. And I think we'd be fools not to take that information and see how it was done.

(...)

A lot of times, people look at film, and they just see pictures. They just see people doing things fast. But you've got to slow down in your mind, and you can't just look, you've got to actually see what's transpiring, what's happening before the obvious. There's always something before the obvious, before the great Manny Pacquiao explodes forward with those great surges. There's always something before that. Hopefully we've seen that.

"

Both Marquez and Mayweather are known for their elusiveness and fantastic counterpunching. That means Bradley is likely to be a reactionary fighter Saturday.

He could be under siege, but if he attempts to trade flurries with Pacquiao, that could spell trouble since he is at a disadvantage in the power department.

Bradley is best off holding and frustrating Pacquiao to the point where Pac-Man may open himself up to getting hit with some counters that could floor him, much like in the Marquez fight.
